The cooking, the shopping, the wrapping….it’s hardly finished here at my house but the merriment has begun. It’s a holiday survival tactic I have developed over the years; just be cooking, eating, gifting, laughing, shopping, singing….whatever you gotta do to get on through the customary get-togethers, general anxiety, piles of dishes, laundry, and broken glass….. It will all be over before you know it! And someone in the family always knows how to make a good Bloody Mary….just in case.
A very Merry Christmas to you!
Love,
Lauren

Are you ready for the hustle and bustle of the “Holiday Season?”
That’s not the question but I’ll answer anyway: Me neither. Part of me wants to run under a rock for the next few months. Until it is warm outside and the sun stays up past 5pm. You know…just hibernate until after Valentines Day. Wake me around Spring break, okay?
Okay, okay I will hunker down and participate. I even painted a lovely little Christmas tree last night. See….I do have some, uh, what some would call holiday spirit.
I do enjoy the festive quality of Christmas; making things decorative and of course the FOOD is pretty amazing.
But I can do with out the shopping and the forced family get togethers.
So before this post gets all bipolar on you I will just end with this question:
1. What do you most look forward to during this lovely time of year?
